~leaf lettuce/romaine - Monday night salad night
~stewing onions - awesome carmelized and served with steak (so yummy, Cary!)
~beets with greens - more beet cake and stuffed pizza in our future
~green onions - hmmmm, just haven't been in the mood for stir fry, unfortunantly
~white radishes - must have Jeff give these to his barber
~green beans - (see below)
~zucchini - more chocolate bread!
~summer squash - did you know the chocolate bread doesn't know the difference between zucchini and summer squash?
~new potatoes - (see below)
So, I was going to save the green beans and make an awesome steak and beans and potatoes meal. Then yesterday happened; rain and bickering kids and mom (me) in a frump. Supper turned into mac&cheese and hotdogs (no, our meat guy doesn't do hotdogs..and c0stco does). However, we had this lovely green bean recipe - and we polished off at least 3/4 lb of beans between the 3 of us.
(Sorry about the weird color: compact fluorescents - remember the rain I mentioned?)
Another favorite recipe, with the new potatoes, is from Pioneer Woman. I do love her site, I can get caught browsing there forever if I'm not careful. And she has some wonderful recipies. Here is a link to her crash hot potatoes recipe - there's no point in my posting the recipe and pictures when she does such a good job! A hint with this recipe; you can steam the potatoes (or boil, or whatever) a day ahead of time, then cool them and stick them in the fridge. Then when you need them, take them out and smash them and cook them up per the recipe. Saves some nice time.
We will have these potatoes again soon - with the few potatoes that are patiently waiting in my cabinet, wrapped in a dish towel. (why? because I like to wrap food in dish towels!)
Eat a local veggie today!
(even if it's shredded and mixed with chocolate and baked!)
